Now here’s an idea. . . .

Following last month’s terrorist attack at a Westgate shopping mall in Kenya, which left 72 dead and over 200 people injured, the Secretary General of the Interpol is considering what some may call a “controversial” solution to public safety, international security and terrorist prevention.

What is the Secretary General’s suggestion? Arm law-abiding citizens.

In an interview with ABC News, Secretary General Ronald Noble elaborated on that idea, noting that there are two paths governments can go down to protect “soft targets” or unarmed civilians from terrorists and sociopaths. The first is to move in the direction of a police state with armed guards, security checkpoints, surveillance cameras and metal detectors everywhere. The other is to encourage responsible citizens to keep and bear arms for self-defense.

Of course the Secretary General of Interpol is wrapped a lot tighter than the Secretary General of the UN. The UN is still pushing a global cun control treaty to keep guns out of the hands of civilians. The terrrorists have already anticipated Interpol's suggestion, and have already run a mile with actions to undo it.
